Every day you look away hoping for a plane
Or car to speed away, and take you far away from here
Daddy's cruel, Mummy drools slumped over the sofa
Whiskey is her tool, cries the bruises all away

Looking for anything
A beautiful runaway
Waiting for somebody

Leave at one, silently close the door behind you
Venture into night, find it easy to escape
This road side, stood with pride, ready for a hitch hike
"Take me anywhere, anywhere I can be me"

A pretty naivity
Fantastically innocent
He'll take you Manchester, he'll take you so far away

Dumped on the motorway
Ladders and tears and tears
You don't know where you are

Every day you looked away for a car to take you far away
Look around at where you are
Raped and hurt in the dirt you'd do anything
To be back home again, anything to get away from here
